When it comes to Trump Jr scandal involving his Russian meetings to dig Hillary dirt, most media outlets have kept their focus on basic-non policy matters like “what did the President know and when did he know it?” or “just how many Russians attended Trump Jr’s meeting?” (FYI, CrookedDonald.com already knows the answer to that one: there were a helluva lot more Russians who showed up Jr’s meeting than there were Americans who attended Papa Trump’s inauguration.) But this focus on the small details of these meeting may be overlooking…

CrookedDonald.com has earlier reported how Trump aided his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, in a scheme to sell Green Cards to Chinese investors at $500,000 a pop. But there is an even more sordid story in Trump’s immigration history: for two decades, Crooked Donald’s company has gamed our jumbled immigration laws to hire foreign workers to save his companies a very few bucks they could have used that money to offer blue and pink collar jobs to American citizens. Despite his tough talk on immigration, Trump’s immigration proposal will punch a big…

The details are very simple: Jared Kushner’s sister, seeking to finance a New Jersey luxury apartment project that Jared himself once managed until the joined the White House staff, needed more cash for the project. So as Jared Kushner and Crooked Donald have both done in the past, they used immigration to boost their bottom lines. Thus, the Kushner family promised rich Chinese tycoons American citizenship for money. I’m not kidding, they promised potential investors that if they forked over at least $500,000 to the Kushner/Trump bankroll, they could become…

We are shocked at the nightmarish news coming out of Syria this week and our hearts go out to the victims of the horrific gassing and murder of civilians at Khan Sheikhoun. But as the world was watching and demanded real answers, we Americans watched Donald Trump blame former President Obama and his policies—even though Trump had fully endorsed those very policies. There will be much more to come from Syria, we know, but consider these two undeniable facts: first, the criminal regime of Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad could not…

Thanks to the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigators at ProPublica, we have proof Crooked Donald has already violated his bogus “trust” that enables him to keep his tiny hands in his businesses as he runs America (into the ground, mostly.) This is still a developing story, but here is what we know so far: when Crooked Donald announced his “trust plan” in January, critics insisted it was worthless in preventing conflicts of interest because chock full of loopholes. Under this scheme, Trump ostensibly resigned from his companies, claiming that he would have no…

They say you should go with what you know and that is especially true in the case of Crooked Donald. Because unlike the issues with his travel ban or his health care fiasco, Trump has issued at least one Executive order that went smoothly. According to Politico, Trump’s order making it easier to pollute lakes and rivers with fertilizer run-off was welcome news to America’s privately-owned golf courses. As you might expect from a man who not only owns several golf courses, but is also spends at least a day…

While no one ever expected Donald J. Trump to wrest the title of “Honest” from Abraham Lincoln, thanks to Time, we now have alarming proof that he doesn’t just lie, Crooked Donald is utterly disconnected from reality. By now you should know about Time’s now-notorious interview, a conversation that so appalled the editors of the Wall Street Journal, they not only called out 45’s falsehoods, they declared the tea-totaling Trump was clinging to a cherished lie “like a drunk to an empty gin bottle.” Yet as damning as the Time…
